Diamond Insurance: Men more likely to drink drive than women

Diamond Car Insurance has released the results of a survey which reveal that men are more blase about drink driving than women.

The car insurance provider, which specialises in insuring women, surveyed 2,600 motorists and found that, if they had consumed three to four units of alcohol one in ten men would be happy to drive, whereas only one in a hundred women would consider getting behind the wheel.

Overall, 62 per cent of men said they would be happy to drive after drinking, while only 34 per cent of women said they would be.

Sian Lewis, Diamond's managing director, said: "The fact that such a large percentage are happy to drive after having a drink is a real worry as any amount of alcohol affects your ability to drive safely."

Drink driving can also push up car insurance premiums.

A survey by moneysupermarket.com revealed that on average, premiums become 82 per cent more expensive if the driver has a previous drink driving conviction.
